Settlement for illegal aliens ‘national security threat: Top investigator

Santo Domingo.- National Investigations Dept. (DNI) director Sigfrido Pared Perez on Thursday said any settlement in the country built for people not properly documented is a threat to national security.

He said government agencies investigate the settlements and no international organization has a right to do so for illegal aliens. "Any settlement that is for illegals, with people who’re not documented, threatens national security and is an affront to the nation."

Pared responded when asked about the construction of around 250 houses built by the Canada-based foundation The Samaritan for undocumented Haitian immigrants, in the village of Montellano, Puerto Plata province.
